A friend of mine who has a Laser 128 EX with a 1-meg board is having the problem of the Laser automatically formatting the entire megabyte of memory as a RAMdrive upon turning the computer on, leaving no extra memory to be used by programs, such as for a scrollback with ProTERM, etc. Naturally, he finds this rather disturbing, but he has not been able to find a way to delete or discontinue the RAMdrive to free up the memory... His configuration is a Laser 128 EX, ROM version 5.0, with the built in expansion board filled to 1 meg, accessed as slot 5 drive 1 when it's a RAMdrive. Any ideas or suggestions on how to solve this problem (besides getting a real Apple... ;) would be greatly appreciated! Please send replies in e-mail so as not to clutter the Apple net with Laser requests... :) proline: pro-novapple!sbennett UUCP: crash!pnet01!pro-novapple!sbennett ARPA: crash!pnet01!pro-novapple!sbennett@nosc.mil Internet: sbennett@pro-novapple.cts.com
